The document discusses the steps taken to create a magazine cover in Photoshop. These include using the pen tool to cut out an image and add a new background layer created with brushes downloaded from Brusheezy. Text was then added using fonts from dafont to complete the cover design with a title matching the red, white, and black color scheme.

1. Cover Production
After taking my images I chose my final image
and opened it on a new layer in Photoshop. I
used the ‘pen tool’ to cut around the image in
order to be able to give the picture a different
back ground. I also used the eraser as some of
the bits of her hair were tricky to cut around and
using this tool enabled me to easily clear the
background within her wisps of hair.
Next I needed to create a background for my
picture. I created another new layer and used
the ‘brush’ tool to create an effective
background. We were told about a website
called ‘brusheezy’ where you could download
brushes which fit within the magazine theme to
use to create a good background. I picked the
colours red, white and black as they are the
colour scheme of my magazine.
I then needed to add the title of my magazine. I
used the ‘text’ tool to type in my title and then I
used a website called ‘dafont’ where I found
appropriate texts for my magazine which I then used
on my cover page.
